"Dan is not only a fantastic instructor, but a truly kind individual who can make the somewhat daunting world of driving far less intimidating. I can wholly recommend X-tra Safe, there's no way you can go wrong choosing this driving school." - Zach

"Really good prices, lovely instructor. Dan is so friendly and so willing to help and make sure you pass your test! Highly recommended! Brilliant! Thanks Dan!" - Jade

"You taught both my girls, they both passed first time. Thanks Dan!" - Cliff

"You are the reason I am confident when driving. The practice with you, really cemented my driving ability.
So much so that I point out other peoples bad driving habits now. Thank you for making me the capable driver I am today!"  - Josh

Pricing

Previous experience has shown that 1 hour lessons do not provide a strong enough foundation for learning, especially in the current traffic conditions. As a result, I am offering only 2-hour lessons to allow you to adapt to driving at your own pace.
Vouchers available on request
AUTOMATIC ONLY

Price per hour ___ £42.50  (minimum length of lessons is 2 hours due to the distance covered)

2 hour lesson ___ £85     
The use of my car on test day: £130 - usually about 3 hours and includes one hour revision lesson with me just before the test.

**Terms and Conditions**

All lessons will be paid for at the commencement of each lesson. If we agree for payment by bank transfer, the lesson should be paid in full at least 24 hours in advance.
Your lessons will be structured according to the approved DVSA syllabus (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) and will include an element of theoretical instruction or briefing, particularly during your early lessons and also before the initial commencement of manoeuvres. Each lesson will be recorded on your individual Progress Card.
I will at all times be polite and courteous and will expect the same in return. I will endeavour to arrive at the arranged time but you should allow 10 minutes either way, in view of varying traffic conditions.
Should you need to cancel a lesson, 48 hours notice would be appreciated or I will have to charge you £75 - that's the lesson price minus the fuel that I'm not using. I think that's fair enough... My contact number is: 077 3737 3001.
It's your responsibility to inform me of any driving convictions, penalty points or medical conditions that may prevent you from learning to drive.
It's your responsibility to inform me if you have to take medication that will affect your driving, you took drugs or consumed alcohol.
With regard to driving tests: these should only be booked following consultation with me. I reserve the right to refuse the use of a Driving School vehicle if, in my opinion, you do not meet the safety standards required by the DVSA, to enable you to attempt the practical Driving Test.
Please ask me about documentary requirements when attending a practical Driving Test and the use of the dual-controlled Driving School vehicle for your Test.  I accept no responsibility for any test cancelled by the DVSA but I will advise you on the compensation procedure that you have to follow.
You should ensure you have any personal belongings in your possession after each lesson, as I cannot accept responsibility for items you may leave in the car.
I am a Professional Driving Instructor, approved by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency and I undergone a long and intense period of training to a very high standard.
Please act in a mature and sensible way during your periods of Instruction and remember that whilst your personal safety is my highest priority, driving a motorcar is for serious-minded adults.
Enjoy your driving lessons with X-tra Safe and may you enjoy safe, happy motoring for many years to come!
